If not, how can it be known i.t the end of the year how the balance ritaaCs as to profit and loss? The lack of knowledge of profit ard loss would Mum swarup any man in mercantile, manufacturing, or any other business outride of agriculture. In fact it really d es bankrupt many a farmer. But, ore may object, few persons know how to keep a set of books correctly. This is true if an account is to be kept with a hiiire l.nmber of deals. Nevertheless all this is not absolutely necessary in the ordinary operations of the farm. Ad account with each field and with each kind of live stock, and this in the most s mple manner, will suffice. Suppose the farmer is to sw forty a rts of wheat. Every djy's plowing is to be charged in the memorandum book, also seed, sowing, harrowing halves' ing, thresniner and harvesting. The wheat credited against the aggre- ga'e charges. If anything is left, Vhat is profit. If the crop does not pay "us cost, the shortage is loss. Suppose the farmer is fatting a bunch of steeis. He fixes their value when put up to feed at, say, S3 per 100 pounds. This represents the capital invested. He knows how much corn is fed and the price it is worth in the crib. The core, the labor of keeping, and care, represent the cost of keeping. These sums repre- i seut cash or debit. What the teers are I sold for Is the credit. The difference of I th"se two sums shows the profit or loss, according to the side of the balance- sheet on which it comes. I Again, every item of household ex- p r.se and everything that costs money I or labor may he entered on one set of I pages, and whatever brings in money ! may go upon the other pages, using one side of a bo-k for debit, and the other ! for credit. A comparison of these two ! se;s of figures will at any time show the apparent gain or loss, and at the end of i the yesr will show the real gain or loss i of that, length of time, i Many persons will not keep books i because they do not like to face personal I daily or weekly expense. Why not ? I ' it tends to keep down outlay that may i be avoided, it adds just so much to the j . redit side of the ledger, and these i small items are often the ones which make or nir;r profits. j How We Taste. I Strictly speaking, with 'be tip of the tongue, one can't rea'ly taste at all. If you put a small drop of honey or oil of bitter almonds on that part of the mouth, i you will find, no doubt to your gieat ! surprise, that it produces no effect of any sort ; yoa only taste it when it be g ns to diffuse iiself, and reaches the i I true tasting reg.on in the middle dis j ; tance. But if you put a little cayenne j : or mustard on the siiraa part you will I find that it bites you immediately the ' 'xp.Timent should be tried sparingly while if you put it lower down in the ( mouth you will swallow it without ' noticing the purgency cf the stimulant. The reason is that the tip of the tongue is supplied only with the nerves, which , mtc really nerves of touch, not nerves of taste proper; they belong to a different m iin branch, and they go to a different c nter in the brain, together with the . very similar threads which supply the n rve of the smell for mustard and pep ; per. That is why the smell and taste 1 ot these pungent substances are so much a' ke, as everybody must have noticed, ' a good sniff at a mustari pot producing j almost the same irritating effects as an 1 incautious mouthful. When one is try ing deliberate experiments on the 6ub ; j ct, in order to test the varying aenei- ! bter.ess of the different parts to different ! j substances, it is necessaiy to keep the t ngue quite dry in order to isolate the thing you are experimenting with and prevent it spreading to all parts of the ! mout,h together. In actual practice I this result Is obcained in rather a ludi- crouj manner by blowing upon the tongue between each experiment with a pair of bellows. To such undignified expedients does the pursuit of science tbe modern psychologist Hlalne InterTiewed. "Mr. Blaine, you understand how it ; is with reporters and how natural in our i inquisitiveness about gentlemen like I yourself, when seen traveling ?" "O, yes ; I've been there myself and have not forgotten how necessary im- fc. . . pertinence is to success in reDortinf? ." . . . . , ' 1 ou "8 V estWard DOUnd, Mr. Blaine? Any fences to straighten or . m otrenginen in mat locality "None whatever." "What do you think of John Sherman as a tourist ?" "He's a gentleman, a graceful talker and a nnif iinnl ulatooman tt - .1 111 l.lt . Is he a candidate for the Tresidency, Mr. Blaine?'' "You must ask Mr. Sherman." ; "What is your opinion of Tresident j Cleveland ?" I Mr. Blaine hesitated a moment, and then said, "I think Mr. Cleveland has i enjoyed his honeymoon hugely." , !

Another rotten limb sawed off. HEARTIES ctiU'.LTY it is to delude a poor stuierer into the belief that some worthless liniment will curerheti niatisra and neuralgia. Honesty is the best poliry in the manufacture of proprietary ar ticles as in all other matters, and the fact that the proprietors of Athlophoros have never claimed for it even all its merit would war rant lias not a little to do with its wonderful popularity, and the thousands of grateful testimonials received by them show that their policy has been wise as well as right. Kxperienre has amply demonstrated that mere outward applications are worth less. The disease has its seat in the blood, and any remedy to lie successful must deal with tlie obstructive acid which poisons and inflames it. Athlophoros acts on the blood, muscles and joints directly. It take-; i ho poinn out of the blood and carries it out of the system; it invigorates the action of the muscle and limbers tin; tdilrhevs of the joint. It reaches the liver and kidneys, cleansing them from irritatinir sulstavces, and, if lollowel up after the rheumatic conditions cease, it will restore these organs to regularity and health. West Chay. NT. Y., Aug. 13, 1SSG. Yours of Ail-gust 14th, is at hand, and in replv would say thnt Athlophoros proved the most effectual remedy for neu ralgia in the case of my son that I ever tried. After using half a bottle he was not troubled any more for Fix months. Henry Harris. Mt. Pleasant, Pa., Aug. 10, I am thankful that I tried Athlophoros.

Why it is not more largely used in this way, it is difficult to say, when we fee the quantities yearly going to waste through the winter to be burned in the spring. When stock is put into the yards for wintering, why not cover the ground thickly with straw, and especially under the sheds ? Thus, liquids, the most va'uable portion of the manure, instead of going to waste, would be soaked up by tbe straw, and at length become thoroughly maistened. In the spring the whole may be piled to be rotted into manure. The straw should be added to from time to ti.ne, especially after snow storms, so that there may be plenty for cattle to lie on. Thus while serving their comfort, it is at the samf time in creasing in value, for the ultimate value of 6traw is in proportion to its sat uration with the liquid waste o' the yards and stablas. S raw is of little value as food, except to p operly distend the stomachs of ani mals that are fed grain. Hotted down by Kselt, many good farmers claim that its true economy lies in its ashes. There is good ground for this belief, unless in the case of tough soils that require to be lightened up mechanically. It may pay in such cases to plow it under while dry. Yet its value on such soils is as much ei.hanced hy being Cist used as bedding a- 1 pon any other soil ; for before serving i s ultimate purpose :n any soil it must li st be brought iLto humupor mold. It is t-ti.l more astonishing that many far mers having plenty of stiaw. should refuse to allow the stock stabled in hrm-.ip a full supply of bedding, No in rt is lost by deep I eddir.g than by thin bedding. It is only the fouled por tions that need be thrown out. Little if e.ny more will become so when the bed is six or eight inches th'ck than if ll.ert is only a slight covering to the !l- or, and very much le.ss feed is needed when animals lie warm and are comfort- able- in other ways than will be when j iney li shivering and uncomfortable on neany bare planking or upon the hard ground. s ock never cluster so when allowed their freedom. Then they seek trie woods wht-re the wind is broken, and where tht-re is the comfort of the leaves with which tiie ground is covered. If straw is scarce it will pay to gather leaves for bedding. And even much of the soiled poitions may be dried ard agiiin used as beddiLg if necessary. hat Poor Seed-t'orn Tots. l'rof. Daval, the .Slate botanist of Ohio, speaking of the cost arising fiom poor seed-corn says: In lss4 there were 2,000,000 acres ll iiited to corn in the state of Ohio. Assv.ming live quarts of seed to be re quired per acre, it would require 4" mj.i.m.0 bushels of seed-corn. If .inly 5 per cent failed to germinate there is a loss of 20,000 bushe's worth over SOW. Ijut t':is is not the actiml loss, for farmers usually plant 10 per cent more seed that th&y would if it was known to be all sound. Then we must remember seed- corn usually sells for double the price of ordinary corn, so the actual loss is not less than ?3i,000 in Ohio alone. Individual farmers may argue that the cost per capita is too insignificant to be taken into account. TIere is where many err in figuring upon profit and loss. These little savings are clear profit. In attention to these would swamp any merchant or manufacturer, and the rule holds good with the farmer. It is nof the gross receipts but the difference be tween these and the cost of production that tells. But to figure a little further : A seed that is not strong in its germinative power produces a weak plant. Hence, bad seed may reduce the yield of corn all the way up to ten bushela per acre. Suppope from bad germination a portion of the field has to be planted over, the crop from $2 per acre up, and reduce the crop in addition, perhaps, ten bushels per acre. And right here is probably why the average yield of corn of the whole country is only twenty-seven bushels per acre when ic should be forty. This and the added cost of cultivation and a poor ultimate stand will at least form a large integer in reducing the average yield. It will pay every farmer to save seed-corn sure to germinate. Before hard freezing weather in autumn is the time to do so, whatever it. may cost. The surplus may be sold for never less than a dollar per bushel. vtorth Weighing. While a man may not know that all men are honest, he may know of one that can be trusted. The very highest recommendation that a man can have is the loving praise of wife, sister or mother. To judge between friends in a matter involving both their hearts jeopardizes friendship, therefore preserve a strict neutrality. A good rule to live up to is to accredit all mankind with good until you find them undeserving. It is better to suffer wrong than to do our fellow man an injury. Personal magnetism and brains are necessary to success as a social favorite. The heart may exist, but it must be concealed. SelGshness sadly interferes with popularity. Economy begets integrity and liberty, temperance, health and cheerfulness follow. rrofusenes3 involves one in debt and dependency, and binds us with an iron chain. A burglar who was doing a neat job on a safe was horrified, on looking np, to see a man standing quietly beside him. He was about to retire, when the gen tleman said : "Go ahead. I am interest ed in that job." "Why," asked the surprised burglar. "Because I have forgotten the combi nation, and no living person knew it but myself. If you can get that safe open, I'll make it worth your while." The following obituary appeared in a Memphis paper, on a man killed by a circular saw: "lie was an uprigLt man, a good citizen, ard pure patriot, but of: small in information as to saws."

About the middle of autumn we riiiJe a reconnoiss incf in the direction of lias grad, to tndravor todiscover the strt-Lgth of the enemy there. Three regimprtsof Cossacks made up the foice, and marched all day and part of tl.e night bt-fore we came in the vicinity of t!. enemy. On the morning cf the second day it was reported that, a considtraLle band of Tuakuh regulars was cam;-d a short di?' ar.ee in front of U3. We Lad been moving durinz the night with as little noi-e as possible, bmI bivouacke l in the rain without building a f.re, so as to give no notice of our approach to tl.e enemy's pickets. It was only daybreak when tlie order.; to march were given and tl.e column proceeded cautious) v. ith a few scouts in advance. In half an "hour or so, we who were riding a little ahead of tl.e column, could see t!i characteri'! ic. conical Tuiki.-di ter. asembltd in a little valley a shoit dis tance beyond. At the same instant our scours eneag'-d the enemy's pickets, nnd the column Irilted. The camp in f-iLt was evidently only a large oupost "ar.il the general immediately gave orders for one regiment to form and charge thro" the camp. We could see the men of the designated regiment uncover and crora themselves, and in a moment the Lr.l of the detachment was rapidly movii. past us. An one the otTicers rde t,e major mj ah! friei.d nf the I.,bredsr! a, who, unknown to me, had been promo ted to a lieutenant-colonelcy. As he dashed p.is. , i,e in ni' ion. ;.nd vi de a gesture of rer-o. his hand for me to f.i 'low. I beii-ve it was uiore the horse's fault than n.y own, tor certainly I never I. a I a del iU-ra' e intt-i.t ion of ridiiig in a chaiee if I cou!d help it, but liefore 1 knew it. 1 was at the major's side. Off we w-T(t at a trot, changing our forma tion to regimental front. Then in an irregular lire, much broken by the ine qualities of the ground, we swept down the s'toiM? at a gallop. There was some firing, and a few (A-fr.icks fell, tu I doubt if mr, body heard a shot. Th? thunder of the hoofs, the shaking of tl.e gr-iin basis, the rattiii.g til ihe cookir.j utensi's ami the resound:;, g whack? of the nagakas tilled the air with a mu'ti tude of noises which diowned all other soutids. The exhilaration of the moment was supieme.
